Background:
The incision length has significant influence on the postoperative course after silastic ring vertical gastroplasty (SRVG).
Methods:
A technique is described in which SRVG can be performed through a minilaparotomy incision.
Results:
110 patients were operated with this technique during 1996. No remarkable intraoperative or postoperative complications were encountered. Postoperative weight loss has been satisfactory.
Conclusions:
Performance of SRVG through a minilaparotomy is feasible. The technique is recommended for surgeons familiar with the operation through the formal incision.
